5 stars for The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows |《Reread》.
I highly recommended this book to my book club for our next discussion in October. It goes without saying that I adore this book and do not mind reading it again.
It feels strange to say this, that even though I read this book less than a year ago, not quite so long ago in fact, I find that I have already forgotten much of the finer details in the story. Reading the novel again helps bring back fond memories of my first time reading it. The story is still as endearing, informative and amusing as I remember it, about a book club and its members who read books, talk books, argue over books and are drawn closer and dearer to one another over time.
After reading the book a second time, I still stand pat on the 5-star rating and detailed book review which I wrote and posted on 13 November 2021. Yes, definitely still holds true.

January 1946: Author Juliet Ashton can't think what to write next. Out of the blue, she receives a letter from Dawsey Adams of Guernsey - by chance, he's acquired a book that once belonged to her - and, spurred on by their mutual love of reading, they begin a correspondence. When Dawsey reveals that he is a member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, her curiosity is piqued and it's not long before she begins to hear from other members. As letters fly back and forth with stories of life in Guernsey under the German Occupation, Juliet soon realizes that the society is every bit as extraordinary as its name.
